About Zero crossings
I understand that a zero crossing is where the amplitude of a waveform = -inf. What I don't understand is what the direction means and if there is a problem with edits that don't retain the alternating pattern.
Can anyone shed some light?

Re: About Zero crossings
Forget all that stuff...either cut in the middle, and if you cant...listen to it. If it crackles/pops...make a very short/fast crossfade (3 milliseconds or so..maybe even less). If it doesnt crackle/pop...its fine...
What you HEAR is what counts...not what you see...

Re: About Zero crossings
Granted what you hear counts is whats important, but does anyone actually know the meaning behind zero crossings and 'alternating' waveforms?

Re: About Zero crossings
i think its like this:
above the middleline its positive and belwo its negative. Its simple the representation of electricity, and audio is always done in AC...because it alternates a lot. What happens if you cut on a different location as the zero-crossong, and you dont mask it with a quick fade is that the speaker has to jump suddenly to the new location. This simply cant happen because of lawas of physics, but it will produce a pop.
